American Construction and Painting came to Laura’s Design Studio for a new logo and business card. Not knowing where to go to originally, they used an online site to get their business card designed and printed. When using an online site, you pick and choose from an array of designs that anyone can use. So that means someone else out there will have the same look as you do and will dilute your brand.

If you are building a business, you want to have original art work so you can copyright it and use it in other marketing materials. When you use an online site you may or may not be able to get the proper files for the logo. When working with a professional Graphic Designer, you will get all the file types for print and web, you will know your fonts and colors so in the future you can create other marketing materials. Here’s the before and after for American Construction and Painting.
